Faig manipulates the patterns of traditional Azerbaijani rugs, distorting their order if you will to create a new art piece that tricks your eyes as if the woven rugs are melting on the wall.

Behaviors or habits are classified under this category if they directly give birth to other immoralities. According to the standard list, they are pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth, which are also contrary to the seven virtues.

The Impossible Objects of Giuseppe Colarusso
In this ongoing series titled Unlikely, artist and photographer Giuseppe Colarusso imagines bizarre and humorous objects, each of which is either technically impossible, improbable, or simply useless in its proposed design.

He hopes each image will make you stop, think and hopefully bring a smile to your face, which is definitely a worthy cause. Also, I would pay top dollar for that spray paint can with adjustable hue sliders, so could somebody make that? Read more The Impossible Objects of Giuseppe Colarusso
